CHURCH MAKES VARIOUS DONATIONS
LEAMINGTON — Faith Mennonite Church donated $6,000 to various charities to celebrate its 60th anniversary as a church. Several organizations benefitted, including MD Bennie Public School, which received a cheque for $200 from the Faith congregation. Faith Mennonite Church began as a congregation in 1961, using the gymnasium at the school as its sanctuary before building on Sherk St., next door to the school. The connection between the two continues today, with community programs such as Spark, which invites students from the school for activities at the church on Wednesdays after school.

a Free Play, then she thought it was $10, until she kept matching numbers. “I called Donna right away to tell her! I was happy, happy, happy!” said Mary Ann. “I was shocked! It’s still unbelievable. I don’t think I’ll believe it until I see the money in my bank account!” said Donna. Mary Ann said she is looking forward to purchasing a new set of golf clubs and saving the rest for her future.

By Jan Watson We held a meeting last week at Talbot Trail Golf Course. They have offered to help us with anything we need, including running our Meat Draws there on Saturdays. We thank them for their generosity. We’ll let you know when the draws will start. Our friends and neighbouring Legion Branches have been very supportive following the explosion that closed us down. Kingsville Legion invited the dart players to join them at their Tuesday night Fun Darts. They hold 50/50 draws and very generously donate the proceeds to our Branch building fund. Comber Legion also sent us a cheque for our relief fund. We thank them for their generosity. The Leamington International Hotel has generously set up an area for us from which we can run our annual Poppy Campaign. Poppy Days will be held on Friday and Saturday November 5 and 6. This year is the 100th Anniversary of the Poppy.
Our annual Remembrance Day service will be held at Two Creeks Conservation Area. Assemble at 10:45 a.m. for the Service which will start at 11 a.m. The Ladies Auxiliary will host a Halloween Tot Walk at Two Creeks this Friday October 29 starting at 10 a.m. All tots and their moms/dads/
caregivers are invited to attend. We have had several inquiries regarding the memorabilia hanging on the walls in the Branch. We are not allowed into the Branch at this time but be assured that when we are and, if we need to, everything will be removed with care and dignity.

October 28th, 1988 It’s been 33 years since you have not been with us, son. Oh,what Dad and I would give to see your beautiful smiling eyes once again. Thinking of you sitting with your grown-up nephews and beautiful niece, we imagine the laughter that we would hear. They never got to sit and chat with you, but we know that they love you as much as we do, and miss all of those moments that were stolen from us. You are always in our hearts. Love you our son, Dad, Mom, Sandra, Paul, Alex, Blake & Hope
